I’m so excited to be joined by Meri-Li Forrest in this episode where we PROVE that even a single mom can attain Financial Independence.

Meri-Li was following a traditional path of working in corporate with plans to retire at age 65.

In 2015 tragedy struck. Her youngest son was diagnosed with a critical illness and spent almost 11 months in hospital. It was during this time she stumbled upon a blog post about the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement.

She realized she was trapped in a never-ending rat race, and her own finances were suffering, despite being a financial professional herself!

So she made the decision to change her life.

Shortly after returning home from the hospital she separated from her spouse.  Reaching FI as a single parent isn’t easy, but it’s definitely possible and totally worth it!

In 2022, Meri-Li left her corporate job and realized her dream of entrepreneurship.

Now, as the owner and financial coach of her own company, Be Wealthy Financial Coaching Inc., Meri-Li helps empower women to take control of their finances so they can build a wealthy life. With over 24 years of experience in personal finance and wealth management, she's helped countless clients achieve their financial goals.

And, when she's not busy coaching others, she loves to travel and explore the world. That's the beauty of following the path to FI - the time freedom and flexibility to live the life you want to live!

Court, and her partner Nic, reached financial independence in their 30s with their 2 young kids. They currently reside in Alberta and enjoy spending quality time together while living a simple life. 

In this episode, Court shares the simple strategy she used to get to FI early in life.  Spoiler - it’s not always about making tons of money…

Grab a pen and paper or your phone and take note - Court shares a TON of tips and tricks to get on (and stay on) the FI track, even with small children, in a world that encourages you to always want more.

Have you ever found yourself committed to something you didn’t want to be committed to?

Where you put your hand up to volunteer and the job became much bigger than you were expecting?

That’s what happened to me with my son’s U11 soccer team.  It has been a saga, but also a lesson in boundaries.  

The whole experience helped me practice what I preach in saying NO to things that don’t serve.

So have a listen (and a laugh) and let me know how you relate!

Maria Smith is a mom, teacher, personal finance blogger (at Handful of Thoughts), and now summit host (of the Women Can Money Virtual Summit).

Maria and her husband paid off their $342,000 mortgage in less than 5 years and then went on to buy 9 rental properties, that they now self manage.  

She is a proclaimed total money nerd who realizes that not everyone wants to talk about money all of the time. And that for some women, money is still taboo and uncomfortable.

Her passion for helping women with money has been a big driver behind the Women Can Money Summit. 

I'm thrilled to be a speaker at the summit talking about How To Find And Invest In Companies That Align With Your Values.
